IL6 compliance and fast data transfers make our work easy

Pros

"The whole point of our project and the team I lead is that we wanted to be able to move data from a ship back to shore. With ONTAP, we are able to do that extremely fast, especially based on the way we were doing it before."

We were able to realize its benefits almost immediately

Pros

"The single management plane in NetApp ONTAP, with BlueXP and Cloud Insights, is valuable. It allows us to see globally all physical and cloud-hosted systems within one management plane, which is a big plus."

Cons

"One of the challenges we have is the ability to tag data with ownership for internal billing and chargeback. We have to utilize some third-party tools for that. It would be good if they were integrated with NetApp ONTAP. Everything else is pretty good."

Product discussed: 9.12
Provides good role-based access control, allowing for precise control over user permissions, but managing QTree's is relatively obscure

Pros

" It's extremely reliable, very easy to manage. I've been able to reduce the number of people I have managing the storage systems because of the software."

Cons

"There is room for improvement in areas related to hardware constraints—for example, more storage efficiency, especially in terms of deduplication. "

The auto-completion feature now simplifies management by streamlining command-line operations

Pros
